I was convinced that I'd be the one in the medical journals proving that it didn't work. I was SO SO impatient and panicked every time I would hit a plateau.

I decided very early on to save one pair of pants and a shirt in the largest size I'd ever worn and I'd pull it out every once in a while.

I no longer do that but boy was that good therapy for me.

You're doing VERY well Rox!

go easy on you.
